Feuertempel

Fire Temple

Before you go

• Get the Goron Tunic from the rolling Goron in Goron City (stop him, for example with a bomb) or buy it for 200 Rupees in the Goron Shop, which opens once you have stopped him. Without it a heat timer runs in the crater and in the temple's hot rooms.
• Bring bombs; several walls and obstacles in this temple need explosives.
• Sheik teaches you the Bolero of Fire at the crater entrance.

Walkthrough

• The Gorons of Goron City are locked in cells throughout the temple. Many of the eight small keys are in chests inside these cells.
• The temple is tall: you work your way up through lava rooms, a boulder maze and a fire maze. Small keys open the doors on each level.
• The Megaton Hammer is near the top of the temple; Flare Dancers guard parts of the way. A Flare Dancer can only be hurt after you knock out its flames – the Hookshot is good for that – then attack its core.
• With the hammer, smash rusted switches and obstacles. The hammer also opens the way back down to the boss door and to the Boss Key, which is behind a locked door on the entrance floor.

Boss: Volvagia

• Volvagia hides in the lava holes of the arena and pops its head out of one of them.
• Run to the hole it rises from and hit its head with the Megaton Hammer. It is stunned for a moment – attack it with your sword (or more hammer swings).
• When it flies, it breathes fire and makes rocks fall from the ceiling. Watch for falling shadows and stay away from the flames.

Tips

• Wear the Goron Tunic for the whole temple, including the boss.
• Touching lava hurts and throws you back; take your time on narrow paths.
